Always *wildly* thankful that ReedPop continues to allow us to do this very silly show. Will the audience rack up their third win in a row? Will we sing a 2000s TV theme song as a group? Will I steal from Jenna again? You have to come to find out! Details: west.paxsite.com/en-us/schedu...

Is This Seat Taken? just oozes charm.
I’m ready to content at PAX West.
I feel like co-hosts are locked for SGF, TGAs & ONL in perpetuity now between Sydney, Sjokz and Lucy. All 3 are killer.

It’s been a while since we have posted on @lukewarmgames.bsky.social so @clairebearrose.bsky.social and I sat down to give an update about the state of the show! Thank you for supporting our show for over 5 years. 💙 Link Below:
Prepare your butts, PAX West.
Oof
Oh dang... we are bringing back Point Blank and Time Crisis with a new officially licensed peripheral, and I'm just hearing about it NOW? www.kickstarter.com/projects/tas...
Before tomorrow’s brand new episode - we have a fun announcement! Claire Lewis is joining Crossplay Conversations as a Contributor! She’ll be on this week’s show and many more to come including our GOTY conversation in January. Throw a “hi, Claire” in the comments for @clairebearrose.bsky.social!
I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵 1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting. www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2021/3/...

Oh no PAX West is 12 days away.
You can tell what bars I’m a regular at in my town.
Ay yoooo
Honey it’s 11am - you know that means. Time for an ice cold Electric Pepsi Zero Sugar Zesty Citrus!

With Cutscenes ending, in-person Video Game Trivia going on hiatus after PAX West 😉 and LBGC hitting 200, I’m feeling very Old Man Logan with respect to content right now.
When Mike, Moe & I gathered around my parents’ kitchen table over eight years & 200 episodes ago to record a podcast about Shadow of the Colossus, I could have *never* imagined where that work would lead. New friends, many cool games & experiences that I’ll carry with me forever. Thank you.
I think my IMMORTALITY Design Works finally shipped! AHHHHHHHHHH - so excited!
Wednesday.
I just watched Episode 8 - I’ve been slowly savouring it. Definitely feel it ramping.
